About

Fine Art Designer Tor Neria Rothschild is resurrecting artisan techniques of the past to document the changing British cliffscapes of the present and create work that will last for generations in the future.

 

Born into an artistic family, Tor grew up in his parents’ ceramics studio, before embarking on a variety of projects around the world.
 After graduating from Robinson House Studio in 2022, he is  now represented by Galleries in New York City and Shanghai. Combining traditional and innovative approaches, he is pushing furniture into new areas, contributing to the scope of the field.

 

Tor’s current project Ora (Latin for coast; prayer) is inspired by sailing around the British south coast. Depicting the topographical and temporal evolution of cliffs across time and place, it is a portrait of both permanence and precarity, documenting our ever-changing experience of, and impact on, the land. 


Each piece represents months of meticulous labour, sculpting thousands of layers of ethically-sourced wood and developing bespoke textural finishes. His practice is time and cost-intensive, requiring experimentation, specialist materials and research and development. Tor keeps evolving his skills and expanding his vision to create handmade, heart-made, sustainable furniture, lighting and sculpture, pushing the boundaries between furniture and fine art.
